If a guy relative or friend was getting married to another guy and they asked you to be in the wedding, for the fellas, he wanted you to be a groomsman and you had to walk down the isle with another male who was a bridesmaid.

And ladies if you was to be a bridesmaid and you had to walk down with another woman would you do it??

tough call I think that I would find a way out of it. "I'm sorry dude, but I'm getting deployed to Afghanistan."

Probably, but only if I cared for that person a great deal. I'm a live and let live kind of person. I may not agree with choices others make, but I think it's an honor any time to be included in such an event.

If I was close enough with one of the people getting married that they asked me to participate, I would absolutely participate. It would be a kind and respectful gesture on their part to recognize that some of the participants don't share their orientation and plan to have the wedding party proceed down the aisle without the arm in arm escort. Many heterosexual weddings do that these days. If that wasn't the plan, I would live with it out of respect for my friend or relative.

Very well said, and agree 100%.

Sure, why not. Last I heard, no one has sex as part of the wedding ceremony. If you are secure in your own sexuality it doesn't matter who you're standing next to...it's not catching, you know. And you have to assume that everyone attending the event is there to wish the couple well and would not give a fig about who walks down the aisle with who.

Not the same situation, but one of my best friends got married last summer and asked me to be a bridesmaid (I'm a man). I accepted. I walked down the aisle with a male groomsmen. It was a complete and utter non-issue.

Nope. I don't believe it's right to be homosexual and therefore would not participate in any kind of wedding, whether I was walking down the aisle with a man or a woman as part of the wedding party.
